When 1 dm³ of CO₂ gas is passed over hot coke the volume of gaseous mixture after complete reaction at STP becomes 1.4 dm³. The composition of the gaseous mixture at STP is:

Solution & Explanation

CO₂(g) + C(s) arrow 2CO(g)
Core Logic

Let the initial volume of CO₂ be 1 dm³. Let x be the volume of CO₂ reacted.

Reaction: CO₂(g) + C(s) arrow 2CO(g) Initial: 1 dm³ 0 Change: -x +2x Eq / Final: 1 - x 2x

Total volume of gaseous mixture after reaction = Volume of unreacted CO₂ + Volume of CO formed

Vtotal = (1 - x) + 2x = 1 + x
Step 1: Solve for x

Given Vtotal = 1.4 dm³ at STP. 1 + x = 1.4

x = 0.4 dm³
Step 2: Calculate Final Composition

Volume of CO₂ left = 1 - x = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 dm³ Volume of CO formed = 2x = 2(0.4) = 0.8 dm³

Pattern Recognition

When CO₂ reacts with solid Carbon to form 2CO, every 1 mole (or volume) of CO₂ consumed results in a net increase of 1 mole (or volume) in the system. The total volume increase directly equals the volume of CO₂ reacted.

Q65 neet_2026_03_may_morning Mole Concept and Molar Masses
The number of hydrogen atoms present in 5.4 g of urea is: (Given: Molar mass of urea : 60 ~g mol⁻¹, NA : 6.022 × 10²³ particles mol⁻¹)
  • A. 2.168 × 10²³
  • B. 2.168 × 10²²
  • C. 1.084 × 10²²
  • D. 1.084 × 10²³

Solution

Moles = MassMolar Mass Number of Atoms = Moles × NA × Atomicity
Core Logic

Structure of Urea: NH₂-CO-NH₂ (Molecular formula: CH₄N₂O). Each molecule of urea contains 4 hydrogen atoms. Given mass of urea = 5.4 g. Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol.

Moles of urea = (5.4)/(60) = 0.09 mol.

Step 1: Calculate Total Hydrogen Atoms

Number of hydrogen atoms = Moles of urea × 4 × NA Number of hydrogen atoms = 0.09 × 4 × (6.022 × 10²³) Number of hydrogen atoms = 0.36 × 6.022 × 10²³ Number of hydrogen atoms = 2.16792 × 10²³ ≈ 2.168 × 10²³

Pattern Recognition

Don't forget to multiply the total moles of the molecule by the specific atom count (atomicity) requested. Urea has 4 hydrogens per molecule.
